A study examined whether gender inequities occur in book reviews published in Speech Communication Association (SCA) journals. Three SCA journals (Quarterly Journal of Speech, Communication Education, and Text and Performance Quarterly) were analyzed over the years from 1980 to 1989 for information relevant to gender equity. Each of the 1,179 book reviews scanned was coded for year, journal editor's sex, author's sex, placement of the review in the section, space allocated to the review, if the...

This study examined research in training and development to determine effect size reporting practices. It focused on the reporting of corrected effect sizes in research articles using multiple regression analyses. When possible, researchers calculated corrected effect sizes and determine if the associated shrinkage could have impacted researcher interpretations. Three human resource development journals were examined from 1998 to 2001, 16 issues for each journal. Regression effects were usually...

Clinical research in the area of severe psychiatric disorders constituted the major focus for the discipline of applied behavior analysis during the early 1960s. Recently, however, there appears to be a notable lack of a behavioral focus within many inpatient psychiatric settings and a relative dearth of published behavioral treatment studies with this population. To examine this trend, a review was conducted of nine journals, within the behavioral literature, which deal with the treatment of...

This study reviewed the statistical practices in published research articles in the Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk to determine the reporting of effect sizes and structure coefficients. Of the 12 quantitative studies found in the last 3 volumes of the journal, only 3 were identified as using multiple regression analysis. Two of the three indicated use of effect size magnitudes, but the third reported only F and p- values. None of these articles gave structure coefficients....

This survey of consumers of research was conducted in support of the question, "Is there a need for a journal of library research?" As a supporting document it may provide the background against which individuals or groups may, for their own purpose, begin to formulate an answer to the question. Thus the scope of the study is to collect and describe information about the opinions, attitudes and practices of librarians presumed to be interested in research. Decisions in two basic areas...

The "do's and don'ts" for submitting articles to regional versus national journals are much the same, according to one journal editor. Do not just print a copy of a conference paper and send it to an editor. First, look up back issues of the journal to see if the paper would be appropriate for the journal. Do submit a paper to only one journal at a time, do include a cover letter, do follow appropriate procedures if the paper is to be returned, do double-space the article, and do...

The report tabulates and analyzes responses to two questionnaires returned by 531 (out of 1672) profit and non-profit publishers of 974 (out of 2552) United States scholarly and research journals. Certain categories of periodicals were excluded because they were not believed to ordinarily contain communications useful for scholarly purposes, or they were considered to have little economic impact. The questionnaires dealt, among other things, with present practices and anticipated future...

Horan (1989) reported that graduates and employees of four institutions (Minnesota, Ohio State, Maryland, and Missouri - the "MOMM Cartel") heavily dominate every science and practice organ of the American Psychological Association's Division 17 governing body. Goldman (1990) provided additional data indicating that egregious exclusion of outsiders is characteristic of all Division 17 appointments over the past 5 years. A frequent response to these findings attributes the predominance...

Some 23 journals in educational psychology and related fields, including two organizational "flagship" journals with circulations over 50,000, now "require" effect size reporting. This paper reviews some of the many effect size choices available to researchers. Effect size measures can be grouped into measures of association strength and measures of standardized mean difference. Another area of interest is that of effect sizes that address group overlap. Because there is no...

This paper argues that the scholarly review process in refereed academic journal publishing restricts research creativity and timeliness, promotes inertia, and wastes resources.

The paper details a manuscript's journey from initial administrative check, to editorial review, to peer reviewer selection, to...

Because of the increase in the number of manuscripts submitted to journals, editors and publishers must either publish more manuscripts or increase the proportion of manuscripts rejected. Rejection decisions are usually informed by informal peer evaluation, editorial processes, and/or citation analysis. Unfortunately, no standard criteria for evaluation have been developed, and inter-referee agreement on the attributes of journal articles is generally low. The research on these issues is...

Three sources of research were examined in order to estimate whether each had enough potential or available material...
